Rhus glabra
Smooth Sumac is a hardy native shrub known for its brilliant fall color, distinctive red fruit clusters, and exceptional value for wildlife habitat. This adaptable species grows naturally across much of North America and thrives in Pennsylvania and the broader Northeast. In summer, Smooth Sumac produces upright clusters of small greenish flowers that attract pollinators and beneficial insects. By late summer and fall, the plant develops dense cones of bright red berries that persist into winter and provide an important food source for birds and other wildlife. Smooth Sumac spreads naturally to form dense colonies, creating excellent cover for birds and small animals. Its ability to grow in poor soils and disturbed areas makes it a valuable species for conservation plantings, habitat restoration, and natural hedgerows. Once established, Smooth Sumac is extremely resilient and drought tolerant, thriving in full sun and a wide range of soil conditions. Seed Pack Options: 25 Seeds 100 Seeds Plant Characteristics: Botanical Name: Rhus glabra Plant Type: Native deciduous shrub Mature Height: 10-15 feet Sun: Full sun Soil: Highly adaptable; tolerates poor or dry soils Wildlife Value: Very high berries support birds through winter Planting Notes: Smooth Sumac seeds typically benefit from scarification followed by cold stratification to improve germination. Seeds may be sown outdoors in fall or winter to allow natural stratification, or prepared using refrigerator stratification before spring planting. As with many native shrubs, germination may occur over multiple seasons.

American Holly is a classic evergreen tree of eastern forests, recognized for its glossy dark-green leaves and bright red winter berries. This native species provides excellent year-round structure in the landscape while offering valuable food and shelter for birds and wildlife. In spring, American Holly produces small white flowers that attract pollinators and beneficial insects. Female trees later develop clusters of bright red berries that persist through winter, providing an important food source for birds when other resources are scarce. American Holly grows naturally throughout the eastern United States and performs well in Pennsylvania and the broader Northeast. It is commonly used in wildlife plantings, native hedgerows, windbreaks, and woodland restoration projects. Its dense evergreen foliage also provides year-round cover for birds and small mammals. Once established, American Holly is long-lived and adaptable to a range of soil conditions, growing best in well-drained soils with full sun to partial shade. Seed Pack Options: 25 Seeds 100 Seeds Plant Characteristics: Botanical Name: Ilex opaca Plant Type: Evergreen native tree Mature Height: 3050 feet Sun: Full sun to partial shade Soil: Well-drained, slightly acidic soils preferred Wildlife Value: High berries support birds through winter Planting Notes: American Holly seeds naturally experience warm and cold stratification before germination. Seeds are often best sown outdoors in fall or winter to allow natural seasonal cycles to break dormancy. Germination may occur the following spring or the second growing season, which is normal for many native woody plants. Because American Holly is dioecious, separate male and female trees are required for berry production.
